Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Fennel bulbs
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Trim the fennel bulbs by removing the stalks and fronds. Slice the bulbs vertically into 1/2-inch thick wedges.
Place the fennel wedges in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the fennel slices in the bowl.
Add salt, ground black pepper, and fresh thyme to the bowl, and toss everything together until the fennel is well-coated with the oil and seasonings.
Arrange the seasoned fennel wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Roast the fennel in the preheated oven for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until the edges are golden-brown and the fennel is tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove the fennel from the oven and transfer it to a serving platter.
Drizzle the roasted fennel with the lemon juice just before serving for an added burst of freshness.
Serve warm as a delicious keto-friendly side dish or a light main course.
